Women last longer than men at the Black-Smoke, and Tsin-ling has a deal of the old man's blood in him, though he DOES smoke cheap stuff.
Nothing matters much to me--only I wished Tsin-ling wouldn't put bran into the Black Smoke.
His fame reached this country and the New York Clipper published, in its Letter Columns, an article stating that Ling Look was not dead, but was alive and working in England.
In 1879 there appeared in England a performer who claimed to be the originalLing Look.
Ling Look, one of the best of contemporary fire performers, was with Dean Harry Kellar when the latter made his famous trip around the world in 1877.
Kellar and Ling Look had much difficulty in persuading the captain to take the body to Hong Kong, but he finally consented.
He carried the imitation even as far as the name, calling himself Chung Ling Soo.
Although seldom presenting it in his recent performances, Ching Ling Foo is a fire-eater of the highest type, refining the effect with the same subtle artistry that marks all the work of this super-magician.
I never saw Ling Look's work, but I know that some of the sword swallowers have made use of a sheath which was swallowed before the performance, and the swords were simply pushed into it.
Poor Ling Look, however, sobbingly said to Kellar, "I shall never leave Hong Kong alive.
Ling Look and Yamadeva die in China during Kellar's world tour, 1877.
Yamadeva, a brother of Ling Look, was also with the Kellar Company, doing cabinet manifestations and rope escapes.
Finally the captain, convinced that something was wrong, had the lid removed from the coffin, but the body of Yamadeva gave no indication of life, and all save Ling Look decided that they must have been mistaken.
Upon reaching Sin-ya-meu I found the faithful A-ling had obtained the cargo of rice and loaded our craft with it.

This afforded me a very nice income, but I still clung to my polish, and kept hus'ling when I wasn't selling at auction.
Now came the necessity for greater hus'ling than ever, as I must be prompt in the payment of my bills, if I expected to establish myself in the confidence of the manufacturers.
About a year later I brought this about; and having established a fair credit myself I had no difficulty in also establishing a credit for Albert, which he used to good advantage by hus'ling and selling lots of goods.
A few days later, two young men came to the hotel, registered, and began hus'ling around in a manner that reminded me of my late patent-right partner and myself in Indiana.
After he had finished with Budd the ranger drifted around to the kitchen in time to intercept Hop Ling casually as he came out after finishing his evening's work.
They knew of no such place as Ma-li-ling and our Shan guide had discreetly disappeared.
We had left directions to have a runner follow us from Yung-chang and in the event that he did not find our camp to proceed to Lung-ling with the mail.
The region between the Salween River at Changlung and Lung-ling is as uninteresting to the zoölogist as it could possibly be, for the hills are dry and bare and devoid of animal life.
It was three stages from Lung-ling and, toward evening of the second day, we again descended to the Salween River.
The guide insisted that we were on the direct road to Ma-li-ling which for the first time he said was in Burma.
Lung-ling is a typical Chinese town except that the streets are wide and it is not as dirty as usual.
Whether the man had ever been to Ma-li-ling we do not know but we eventually found it to be a tiny village built into the side of a hill in an absolutely barren country where there was not a vestige of cover.
Its resources seemed to be almost exhausted and the Mohammedan hunter assured us that at a village called Ma-li-ling we would find excellent shooting.
The penalty paid by one of any other class for playing Pe-Ling at that time, was the loss of his head.
Tarling stretched his arms and yawned in the sheer luxury of living, before he took down his silk dressing-gown and went in to the breakfast which Ling Chu had laid for him.
Before Milburgh knew what was happening, he was lying on the floor, face downwards, with Ling Chu's knee in the small of his back.
Now, you will tell me, Ling Chu, did those printed words speak the truth?
More and more he was becoming converted to Ling Chu's theory.
Ling Chu with a jerky little bow pulled a chair from the wall and sat at a respectful distance from the table, and Tarling, noting the rapid consumption of his cigarette, passed him the box.
Three nights before the murder, Ling Chu, discussing the interview which had taken place at Lyne's Stores, had very correctly diagnosed the situation.
Ling Chu on the contrary had a penchant for buses and seemed to enjoy them.
Ling Chu was the cleverest of all his sleuths, a man who never lifted his nose from the trail once it was struck, and he had been the most loyal and faithful of Tarling's native trailers.
We drove for a long time till he stopped by a high wall, and then, master, there was a fight," said Ling Chu simply.
This will not hurt you," said Ling Chu, and drew four straight lines across the other's breast.
He had spoken no more than the truth when he had told Inspector Whiteside that he knew the way to deal with Ling Chu.
Even native criminals were baffled in their interpretation of Ling Chu's views, and many a man had gone to the scaffold puzzling the head, which was soon to be snicked from his body, over the method by which Ling Chu had detected his crime.
In two strides Tarling was at the door of Ling Chu's sleeping place, but it was locked.

Thou'lt not find him, for he was going into the Friendly Inn with shepherd Jose as we passed through Ling Crag.
Between Ling Crag and Bouldsworth Hill it stood, this house of the Wildwater Ratcliffes.
It might be a half-hour later, as she dipped down the Ling Crag hill, that she met Shameless Wayne galloping hard up the stiff rise.
The Lean Man whipped flint and steel from his pocket, and struck a quick shower of sparks, and on the instant a roaring stream of fire shot upward from the bracken to the ling, and from the ling to the dark pile of peats.
Wayne to his mare, as Ling Crag village swirled by and the rough track to Wildwater stretched clear ahead.
The light was clearer here, though they were hidden altogether in the shadows, and they could see a tall fellow piling a last armful on the heap of ling and bracken that already mounted to the doorway-top.
Wayne stopped for no more, but touched the mare once with his heels and swung up the field and round the bend of the Ling Crag road.
I may hev my own opinion--ivery man hes a right to that--but Marshcotes an' Ling Crag can find nowt too good to say about him nowadays.
The stone which bounded the Ratcliffe lands on the side toward Ling Crag stood on the right hand of her road.
They are so fond of the eggs at Wildwater, thou know'st, and I have been seeking all across Ling Crag Moor for them.
No year went by but she learned all afresh how rare and bewildering a thing was springtime on the moor; so warm it was, so full of a thousand clean-cut scents, of wind and peat, of ling and standing waters.
As the wind raved out of the north, he could see it plough its green-black furrows across the dripping murk that hugged the ling from sky-line to sky-line; and the sight seemed good to him.
Startled at the noise, the Giant clapped his hand to his ear with such force, that had not Ting-a-ling held on very tightly, he would have been shot up against the tympanum of this mighty man.
Ting-a-ling then bowed his thanks, and all the people made up their minds to take very particular notice of what the King had said.
Parsley; and so Ting-a-ling got off his grasshopper, and led it up close to his friend.
Ting-a-ling came in for a good share of praise and caressing; and if he had not slipped away to tell his tale to the fairy Queen, there is no knowing what would have become of him.
The grand vizier was on the wide platform of the throne, making a speech, but the uproar was so great that not one word of it could Ting-a-ling hear.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "ling" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
